Question
A chemist dissolves 849 mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 100 mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.)

Round your answer to 3 significant decimal places.

[There is a text input box for the answer with a control button nearby showing options for inserting an exponent or resetting the input.]

In this problem, you'll need to consider the dissociation of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in water and how this affects the pH of the solution. Remember that KOH is a strong base and fully dissociates in water, releasing hydroxide ions (OH⁻). Use this information to calculate the concentration of OH⁻ and then use it to determine the pH.
